A Little Disappointed: I was a little disappointed with this audio book. I am really looking to get things whipped into shape and organized, but I didn't find this very helpful. There are a lot of ideas, but they all seemed kind-of obvious and nothing really jumped out at me as a "great new idea". I thought she spent WAY too much time on explaining how to organize files, and not enough time on around the house organization ideas. I'm sure it is a good audio book, but it just wasn't what I personally was looking for.
If you want the bare-bones approach, this is it: All Stephanie Winston books have sold well, primarily to a corporate market. Winston's forte is ORGANIZING, which can aid readers in achieving; however, organization per se is not synonymous with simplicity (IRS forms are organized and hopelessly complex!) More-over, she rarely touches on the cerebral aspects of simplicity. The books tends to be dry and matter-of-fact -- perfect for gung-ho career-achiever types.
Organizing Tips: As a professional organizer I find this book both useful and insightful. The author has her information in a very easy to read manor. She also writes on a level of experience working with an organizing client. I would recommend this book to any one interested in organizing their own homes and also for anyone organizing others.
Useful tips for getting organized at work and home: There are lots of tips on this tape. I haven't had time to try them all out, but the ones I have tried work! I feel more organized already. It's a tape you'll want to listen to more than once. It helps that Stephanie has a very pleasant voice.
